Performance tuning recommendations for data and event management

The following tables provide tuning guidelines for a BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server that performs both data collection and event management.

Infrastructure Management Server heap tuning parameters

Note

The following files in this table are located in the <installation directory>\pw\pronto\conf directory.

Infrastructure Management Server additional tuning parameters

Note

The pronet.conf file in the following tables refers to the file that is located in the <installation directory>\pw\custom\conf directory.

Database (SAP SQL Anywhere) tuning parameters

Integration Service tuning parameters

Cell tuning parameters

Configuring the parameters automatically

You can either manually add these parameter values in the respective configuration file or let the installer insert them at the time of installation. To do this, open the command prompt using the Run as administrator option and run the installer using the following command:

install.cmd –J PERFORM_SERVER_PARAMETER_TUNING=true

When you install the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server, the installation program automatically configures the system by adding the pre-inserted values for performance tuning parameters provided in the ServerPerformanceParameters.csv file. This file contains the different value for each CPU core and RAM combination for the following parameters:

Parameter Name	Property file
MaxHeap	pnjserver.conf
MinHeap	pnjserver.conf
MaxHeap	pnrate.conf
MinHeap	pnrate.conf
MaxHeap	pnagentcntl.conf
MinHeap	pnagentcntl.conf
pronet.jserver.cachemodule.threadpool.max.size	pronet.conf
pronet.jserver.cachemodule.threadpool.min.size	pronet.conf
pronet.jserver.databasemodule.threadpool.max.size	pronet.conf
pronet.jserver.databasemodule.threadpool.min.size	pronet.conf
pronet.jserver.dbconnectionpool.maxdbconnections	pronet.conf

The installer picks the values depending on your system configuration and updates the configuration files. Post installation, this file is located at the <installationDirectory>\pw\custom\conf folder.

You can use the Maintenance Tool - Configuration tab to re-configure the values in the following cases:

If you have the information for different parameters (other than mentioned in the previous table) and insert the values in this csv file.
If your system configuration is modified in the future.
